RAY MON DE.

The Gilbert Dramatic Company of
 BrookIyn-A Brilliant Success Ex-
 pected.
 Sardou's Raymonde will be presented at
 Carll's Opera House Saturday evening, under
 the auspices of the New Haven Yacht club,
 by the Gilbert Dramatic company of Brook
 lyn. The Gilberts are party of ladies and
 gentlemen who have associated themselves
 in Brooklyn for the purpose of engaging in plays of theatrical character. Their per formances are given before select audiences composed of their friends in that city and for which cards of invitation are issued. It is now some ten years since they organized, and so well have they succeeded in their | study and practice that taeir entertainments are looked forward to with much anticipa- ton of pleasure by the large and select audi ences which invariably attend them; and, viewed strictly in dramatic point of view, their efforts are very superior and seldom | surpassed in rendering fashionable plays. | Through the exertions of the committee ap- pointed from the New Haven Yacht club our 1 citizens are to have an opportunity to witness | one of their best plays, "Raymonde." The cast of "Raymonde'' is one of the strongest ever presented by the Gilberts and | introduces many of the most talented peo- pie, as will be seen below:

 and to this is partly due their remarkable success The company, as is well
 known, played with marked success under the l auspices of the New Haven Yacht club two years ago at the New Haven Opera House, the affair being a brilliant success. They will doubtless receive another hearty and enthu- | siastic welcome here Saturday night. The committee of arrangements, consisting of James Gallagher, jr., F.. W. Guion, R. R.
 Martin, are laboring hard to make the affair a notable one and well deserve the reward of their labor, which is we'll assured.

A NEW D1FFICuLrY.

The County's Unrel1nqufshed Interest
 In The old State HoGse-A New
 Phase Of The old State House Ques-
 tiOn-More Trouble.
 A prominent citizen residing near the Old Green said last evening: Glow can the city authorize submission of the State House question to vote of the people when the county has claim on the old building, which in my opinion has never been relin- quished. I have talked with several of our well posted and prominent old residents and they say that they don't think the county has ever relinquished it's claim as 8 part owner of the old structure. The State House was built at the expense of the town and city of New Haven, the State of Connecticut and the county of New Haven. The State has relinquished it's claim, but the town of New Haven and the county of New Haven have still their say in the matter before the case can be legally submitted to the people,"
